Code for Tampa Bay Brigade is a local affiliate of Code for America and part of an international network of people committed to using their voices and hands, in collaboration with local governments, to make their cities better. Code for Tampa Bay Brigade helps build participatory power in their cities by holding regular civic hack nights and events, advocating for open data, and deploying apps.

Brigades celebrate and share their successes with the Brigade network to further the global civic innovation movement. Locally, Code for Tampa Bay Brigade has led National Day of Civic Hacking events in Hillsborough and Pinellas County, in partnership with local governments and other collaborative partners.

Members have helped create a Multicultural Visitors Guide for Hillsborough County, launched LandPop to help give residents a say in the community they want to see , helped develop resources and apps for homeless services in Hillsborough and Zicka prevention and control resources in Tampa Bay.
